Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.

Dear Santa Barbara Independent Writers and Editors,

I wanted to share a significant and timely story with you regarding a milestone in California’s horticultural landscape. As this is a local event that impacts Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, I thought that you might find this story relevant. If this isn’t quite a fit for you, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could direct me to a publication or writer who might be interested.

San Marcos Growers, a cornerstone of the horticultural and landscape design industry, will be hosting its final Field Day event, “The Last Dance”, on Friday, October 4, 2024, at its wholesale nursery in Santa Barbara. After 45 years of contributing innovative plant introductions and supporting the landscaping community, this event will commemorate the nursery’s remarkable legacy before it officially closes its doors next year.

The event will gather professionals from across the industry, including renowned speakers like Randy Baldwin, Flora Grubb, Carol Bornstein, Kathy Musial of the Huntington Botanical Gardens, and many more. Topics will include the history of San Marcos Growers, the future of nurseries in California, and insights into working with diverse plant selections.

I have attached the full press release with additional details and a link for event registration. If this is of interest to you or your section, I would be happy to provide further information or coordinate interviews with key participants.

Thank you for considering this story for coverage!

Warm regards,
Rhoda Todoran
